C, It mnkes somo very grnvo charges, which if thoy can bo proved would mako tho President himself wash his hands of him. It snys: Whoit congress convenes ngain sov oral resolutions will bo introduced in tho houso nnd senato cnlllng for Infor mation from tho secrotary of tho In terior, Hon. Ethnn Allen Hitchcock, with reforonco to a number of ensos which havo been ncted upon by him during tho Inst fow years which, on thoir fnco, present, are ugly condition of affairs. Many men in public life do not bellovo that Socrotnry Hitch, cock is as fearless in tho enforcement of tho laws, particularly when his per sonal friends aro concerned, as has been represented. Indeed, It Is nllcgod by thoso who profess to know, thnt tho secretary is himself today openly and notoriously violating tho federal stat utes. It is nllcgod that ho is n stocb holdcr and director in tho Union Trust company of St. Louis. This company, it is alleged, holds tho first mortgage bonds of tho Choctaw Railway com pnny, which Is now n portion of tho Rock Island system. During tho last fow yenrs tho Choctaw railroad has se cured valuablo timbor and coal lenses in onstcrn Indlnn Territory. It is al leged that this railroad company has obtainod unusual courtesies from tho dopnrtment nnd thnt tho relations exist ing botwoon tho socrotnry nnd tno Un ion Trust company of St. Louis indi rectly assoclnto him with tho trnnsac tion, which is nn open nnd' notorious violation of tho federal statutes, Sovornl years ago application wns mado to tho secrotary of tho interior to havo a patent issuod to ono W. 8.

This is probably tho most notorious caso that has ovor been boforo tho do pnrtmont. Tho parties who obtained tho pntont woro vlrtunlly convicted of porjury but escaped conviction in tho federal courts by rooson of a defect in tho indictment nnd tho operation of tho statuto of limitations. This proporty is valued at several millions of dollars and tho strongest efforts wero mado to induco tho secretary to prosccuto the case. Tho evidence, It is said, was con clusive But for somo unknown rea son Secretary Hitchcock contented hlinsolf with a moro Tccdmmondutlon to tho department of justico that suit bo Instituted to cancel tho pntent. In his lottcr to tho nttornoy general ho snld: "Or tho wholo, I bellovo that such u showing hus been made of fraud and misrepresentation that u suit should bo immediately instituted nnd vigorously prosecuted to vacato said patent." But about this timo prominent attorney wero omployod In tho caso, among thom being ox-Scoretary John W.

This is probably tho most flagrant and notorious vIoTn tion of tho law thnt hns occurred lor recent years, nnd yet Secretary Hitch cock dollboralcly permitted tho stntnler of Umithtlons.to run against tho prosoc cution of tho guilty parties nnd it tss now too Into to lilstituto n suit to vft cato tho patent. This wns n enso where millions of dollars wero Involved, and whero thcro wns no question about thev fraud, nnd yet no honest effort wns mado to prosecute tho culprits.
